Garden Water Features and Ponds Buying Guide

Garden water features and ponds enhance the aesthetic value of gardens or landscapes. Water features and ponds without or with waterfalls are a good investment as they not only enhance visual appeal, they also increase the value of the property.   

Kinds of Garden Water Features

• Ponds
• Waterfalls
• Fountains

Waterfall and Backyard Pond Styles

• Ponds and waterfalls can be classified as 'informal' and 'formal.' The choice of style depends on your lifestyle and personal preference.   
• Informal or casual style: These waterfalls and ponds are natural and free in form. Some of them include thundering waterfalls, babbling brooks, tranquil ponds and high mountain streams. They come in various shapes and sizes and can fit well into any type of garden. With quality and heavy-duty liners, they can be designed in anyway.
• Formal style: These water features or ponds have geometric, symmetrical shapes with cleaner lines. Normally placed in the centre of the garden. 

Choosing Garden Water Features and Ponds

• The size (length, breadth and depth) and design of water features and ponds for gardens should be first decided.
• When choosing water features and ponds the water holding capacity should also be taken into consideration.
• Pond filters are available as internal filters, external filters and falls or skimmer filters. They are important to keep the water body clean and free from harmful bacterial growth. You also need to consider various factors including pond size, maintenance, cost, capacity to clean, settings (stealth or not) and so on before you buy filters.
• Pond kits are available in various sizes and types; you can choose the one that suits your requirements and budget. Some advantages of purchasing pond kits are that they have all essential materials, fittings and parts included.
• The choice of water features and ponds will also depend on whether they would have plants, fish or both.
• If you want water features to accommodate more plants then ponds with terraces or shelves would be the right choice.
